He has shown no signs of slowing down this season, scoring six goals and adding five assists in nine top flight games thus far. We are still unbeaten and we have not played at our highest level, because we have been with the coach only two or three months now. We deem it unlikely that he'll start from the beginning.

The former Scotland worldwide has given his lowdown on how he sees this Premier League season finishing.
